handle
A handle is a part of, or attachment to, an object that allows it to be grasped and manipulated by hand. The design of each type of handle involves substantial ergonomic issues, even where these are dealt with intuitively or by following tradition. Handles for tools are an important part of their function, enabling the user to exploit the tools to maximum effect. Package handles allow for convenient carrying of packages.
Hey all,
Looking for some advice. My mother recently had her boiler changed but in the process the water had to be turned on and off as you would expect and the engineer broke of the handle. Luckily it seems you can close the valve with some pliers on the but I don't believe this is best for...
Hi,
I’m looking for guidance to access the cartridge of a leaking single handle bathroom faucet. It has no visible markings on it to determine manufacturer. I see how to remove the handle but question the 2 metal rings which are part of the faucet. Do these need to be removed to access the...
I need to change the washer on the dripping hot tap in the photo, does anybody know how to remove the dome tap handle, there's no fixings or grub screw anywhere, thanks
I’ve cleaned the grooves and tightened the grub screw at the bottom, but this tap handle (on the right of the photo) just won’t stay put. When turning the water off it either drops back or comes off. I suspect the problem may be with the screw, which doesn’t seem to move much.
How might I get...
I'm removing a Trevi CTV but struggling removing the volume control handle. The temperature control knob is removed but I can't see how to remove the volume control handle. It won't budge. Does it just clip off?I
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Hi all. Sorry I'm not a plumber so go easy on me. I have a triton shower (see images) below, I don't know the model as it was here before me. Basically you have to turn the handle anto clockwise for hot water, off is the 6 o'clock position. However the handle will only go as far as between 12...

I have a Smeg MDQ5-CSP tap that needs a new cartridge (part number 68503). The MDQ5-CSP tap is in a difficult place to remove, so I am planning on replacing the cartridge in situ. To replace the cartridge I need to remove the square handle (part number 113453). I have removed the cap which...
Hey all, I have a tap handle that wont come off!
In the bathroom, we had a leaking tap, so we decided to replace the washer. We took off the button at the back and unscrewed it too. Now, i know that it is supposed to just pop off but mine didnt. It will still turn round and it slightly looser...
Have a one handle shower pouring water from handle, probably vintage 1964 or 1965. Tile enclosure, built up over what appears to be industrial-strength chicken wire covered in plaster. No way to turn water off, except at the main, so wondering what or even if there's a time-efficient way to...
I'm a DIYer and I have a Widespread Bathroom sink that i'm working on. The cold water handle is loose and turns on top of the countertop. I've looked under the countertop and can see that the nut that is used to snug the fixture isn't all the way tight. The problem is there is water corrosion...
Who makes this plastic valve handle with the octagon fitting on the back?
Where can I purchase it? I need to purchase only this valve handle.
I have looked around and so far cannot find it.
Please let me know. Thank you.
It's the lever I need - it's got an extra long threaded section and came with 2 X wedge shaped washers to take up the curve of the cistern wall. Thanks
Hello. I have an old shower valve that needs replacing. No product name, or set screw. It's got a cross handle with a diverter above the handle. My plumber thought it was similar to an American Standard T0646002.002 (except cross handle not a bar) but the insides are not the same. This was in...
I have a Mira shower linked to my hot water tank which works well when my boiler thermostat is on the LOW setting. The water temperature is controlled using the rotary dial and I'm able to adjust it to make the shower warmer or cooler as required. Unfortunately when the boiler is set to HIGH...
